Under the Silver Lake (2018) with Hayes Davenport
Monday Aug 07, 2023
Monday Aug 07, 2023
Cold beer, hot day... the perfect environment to break down David Robert Mitchell's Under the Silver Lake with Hayes Davenport from The Flagrant Ones and Hollywood Handbook! We're talking Nepo Babies, the code buried under the surface, cheering on the Fightin' Barristers and trying to figure out just what the heck is so broken in us that we became podcasters anyway?! Don't miss this ep!NOTE FROM GEORGE:
In addition to the causes of homelessness that already existed, COVID forced many people onto the street and has put an incredible strain on the already underfunded resources. With this in mind, and with respect to both the art we're discussing here and the work Hayes is doing, I've set up a recurring donation to Bethesda Project. This is an organization here in Philadelphia helping people get back on their feet, and I encourage you all to donate as well, or find a similar cause near you to support - it's a hard world out there, and plenty of people are fighting to make it harder.
